Use shadows.

>>3788903
please elaborate.

>>3788887
proper grasp of lighting

>>3788916
no shit sherlock

do you consider this dress to be white anon? There's no color changes in this dress, the only color changes come from light. darker areas are shadow. The hair in OPs picture is in a shadow and instead of using just pure grey he added some saturation.

a light blue for shadows on white stuff looks pretty good

What's a good book for learning this? James Gurney's color and light?

7 videos going in depth on how color interacts with each other and a lot more shit.

If it's so obvious why you askin?
There's no "trick" to understanding the correlation of colors to one another, you just gotta mess around with em to know what's right for each case. If you were to ask "how white hair would look under X conditions in X situation" you could get a direct answer, but in general it can be every color of the damn rainbow and look white if the other colors are in the right relations.

Thank you anon!

Value is relative, anon. The whites don't have to be #FFFFFF white, in fact they usually shouldn't be - they just have to be light compared to the rest of the picture. Getting it right requires nuance which you will pick up after getting some practice.
Consider that the shadows are bluish/purplish because shadows shift hue in general, and cool colors are popular shadow choices.
There is no "trick" here, only understanding the fundamentals of hue, value, and saturation, and the intuition that results from it.

What you said is the equivalent of replying to the question "how do you make a chocolate cake" with "learn to bake lol ". No shit sherlock.


It's fucking retarded.

>>3788887
Nothing is really stark white. You have to put some tone and color on things because of how light works. They even tell you to mix some color into your pure white highlights or they will look dead.

You're question is the equivalent of asking a piano teacher how to make nice melodies. You ask vague /beg/ questions, you get vague answers.

>>3788955
So you are a /beg got it and have no idea. Got it. back to draw anime sht.

So you are a /beg it and have no idea. Got it.

How's asking about the illusion of whiteness vague? Brainlet.

Go back to drawing cubes in the beg thread.

Not that guy, but asking such a specific detail as "why does the white look white if it's not really pure white?" does demonstrate a lack of understanding of the underlying concepts. Mostly about how color is relative.
By asking that question, you're scratching the surface of a greater idea. You won't get the answers you need to get it unless you go beneath the surface.
Here is something fun to try. Put some colors down. Then put a multiply layer over it in a different color. That's simulating putting a colored shadow over the entire canvas. Now color pick what you get. Are the results surprising? You can go apply that by adding a multiply layer over some drawing of yours as a drop shadow, adjusting for contrast where necessary (multiply lowers contrast levels).

I can't cure idiocy. Hope you one day will grow the brains to stop asking basic ass questions on a massage board and go studying, or don't, i don't give a shit. here's your last you, loser.

right... not the first time I ear that bullshit. obvious samefag

>>3788974
Work on those cubes instead of talking about thinks you don't know about.

Ngmi....
